Assumption School - Historic Ribbon Cutting Celebration

Over 1,600 community members came out to celebrate Assumption’s New School Building Dedication Ceremony on Sunday August 18th!  After the special Mass held at Assumption Church, attendees processed to the entrance of the new school building where the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony took place.   Administrators expressed gratitude to all those who contributed to the New School Building fund, and all were invited to commit themselves to further providing the children of Assumption School with the tools they need for a high quality education.  Faculty was also on hand to welcome students to their new classrooms as everyone in attendance guided themselves through the new facilities.

Assumption Parish School has been rooted in the O’Fallon, MO community for more than 140 years: First as a log school house in 1871, then as a 3-story school house used from 1876 to the late 1950’s.  The current day school, Parish School of Religion, and Youth Ministry, have been using these facilities built as early as the 1950’s to educate our children.  A little over a year ago, construction began on a modern school space which was fashioned to accommodate the growing demands of the Parish and to meet the needs and best practices to educate the 21st century child.
